Here's my LOW COST version of the BASH build! This one will have the advantage of running very smoothly without any masterworking or greaters affixes. This version will be played ambidextrously, because yes, this solution will be more optimized for people who don't have the time/want/opportunity to invest a lot of gold/resources in the build - perfect for people who want to start the build and optimize it over time. You'll be able to roll on pit 80/90+ and start accumulating the resources needed for your min/max (which is still a different version, so check this build page regularly, I'll be adding it in the next few days).
Build Overview
Build Variants
Assigned Skills







There are several versions of this build, one with Hammer of the Ancients, with Call of the Ancients, with Rupture... Here I'm proposing a Iron Skin version, which I think will be more versatile.
Aspect & Uniques














Beware of assigning your weapons to your skills!
Here, we'll be playing with our one-handed weapons with 1h AXE and 1h MACE to assign our Bash skill.

How it Works
What weapons should I use?
Here I suggest you play AMBIDEXTRIE (Axe+Mace) on your Bash skill because this way we'll benefit from :
- More attack speed for easy access
- Access to the passives of mace-type skills
- Benefit from Ambidextrous and Cleaver glyphs
How to build up elementary resistances?
The barbarian is not the easiest class to cap in elemental resistance, but if you follow these guidelines, you shouldn't have any problems:
- Once you've aligned your paragon, place elemental resistance gems in your jewels (on ur 3 lowers res)
- Add to this one or two lines of “RESISTANCE TO ALL ELEMENTS” in one of your pieces of armor (greater or not).
- Temper your head/torso/legs with the elemental resistances you're lacking. If you no longer need them, opt for the “Imposing Presence” temper for percentage life.
How do you build up physical resistance/armor?
If you're a Barbarian, you'll be a cap in armor (9230), with just your strength and paragon.
Ubers-unique playable ?
The following items are playable:
- Harlequin Crest
- Grandfather (although I don't recommend it, not the best damage or tankiness option, but possible before a major optimization)
